Court Minstrel is an intended runner in the 32Red Hurdle at Sandown Park on Saturday.
Williams describes Court Minstrel as a different type of horse to Deep Purple, who was second in the Tolworth five years ago. "He's a different type of horse to Deep Purple, who was a more forward horse and had run on the Flat," said the Llancarfan handler. "Court Minstrel is a National Hunt-bred horse and it's taken a bit of time to settle and educate him. There's more education needed before he's the finished article."
